Chasing Shadows (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224343010)

For Zoe and Noah, an idyllic and peaceful hiking trip deep in the tranquil forest was supposed to rekindle their strained marriage. But when Zoe walks away briefly, she returns to find her husband has vanished without a trace, her world is suddenly plunged into a spiraling abyss of chilling mystery and danger.

Refusing to accept the police's swift dismissal of Noah's disappearance as just a trivial accident, Zoe finds herself isolated and increasingly obsessed, forced to navigate the city's dangerous criminal underworld that her beloved husband had secretly been a part of. Doggedly pursuing every cryptic lead is her only hope of unraveling the truth, no matter the cost.

When a run-in with ruthless thugs backs Zoe into a corner, she's rescued by Jack, a rugged yet disarmingly compassionate mystery man whose path seemed destined to cross with Zoe's. As they reluctantly join forces, the undeniable attraction simmering between Zoe and her enigmatic new ally grows, even while their investigation pulls them closer to a terrifying conspiracy willing to kill to stay hidden.

Together, Zoe and Jack descend deeper into the shadows in search of answers. But they also must resist the magnetic passion threatening to consume them both, and stay one step ahead of the lethal unknown forces tracking their every move.

Soon it becomes clear powerful players are ready to snuff out Zoe and Jack permanently before they expose hidden sins. As the obsessive quest for the truth becomes a matter of life and death, Zoe is pushed to her limits, trapped in a relentless race against time.

But the greatest threat of all may come from the explosive secrets and toxic betrayals beginning to emerge from the shadows-and the intoxicating new desires they ignite within Zoe's guarded heart. Because sometimes the dark truths you seek come with an unbearable cost...

Can a love irrevocably lost ever truly be reclaimed from the grave? Is there room in Zoe's wounded heart for a dangerous new romance when ghosts of the past still cling? She's about to find out.

As Zoe ventures further into the darkness than ever before, she learns the chilling meaning of "be careful what you wish for." Now every breath feels numbered as a ruthless and dangerous secret society tightens its deadly grip, and lethal forces beyond their control conspire to tear Zoe and Jack apart forever.

Their high-stakes quest leads through a tangled maze of lies, passion, and hidden agendas until neither one knows anymore who they can trust. In this adrenaline-soaked thriller where romance collides with mystery, the only certainty is their growing forbidden desire threatening to consume them both from the inside out.

But surrendering to such fiery passion may be the greatest risk when sinister webs of long-buried betrayal finally surface. Now Zoe must ultimately face an impossible heart-wrenching choice between reawakening the ghosts of the past or abandoning hope of the truth for good.

The bone-chilling mystery and breathless suspense never relent as you experience this white-knuckle ride with Zoe and Jack through this pulse-pounding romantic thriller. Some secrets refuse to stay buried...
